I swear this isnt an @ at anyone in particular, but it’s super disorienting to see people’s feeds switch between Minneapolis and, like, their problems with modern film budgets.
More than anything it just points to the insufficiency of social media to situations where prolonged focus is necessary

ICE needs to leave Minneapolis.
This city is tense. Kids are home from school because the federal government is putting them in danger. This is horrifying and needs to end.

Maduro was a brutal repressive dictator who destroyed Venezuela. Trump did not have congressional or UN approval to engage in unilateral regime change. Trump's actions were illegal. All of those things can be true at the same time. Don't let them make this about Maduro.
